[little_onimaker]

[Crackling noises at the device is turns itself on.] What disgusting place is this? This is not Osorezan. It’s probably not even a part of Aomori.

What’s this stupid little thing? [Her voice becomes a little louder due to her picking the device up.] Some sort of phone? Does it even work?

This is stupid. I can’t hear anything. [A pause and a sudden realization.] I… Can’t hear anything…

[Unsure how to take this, she pauses for awhile before speaking. Her voice wavers for the first few words, before becoming steady again.] Is there anyone even out here? Someone better show me the way back now.

Curse you LJ and your lack of alerts!

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

No one will be arriving to retrieve me from your care.

err I shake my fist at it!

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Well, no matter! We can give you home as long as you want it, Anna-san.

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

I don't know why you want to do that. But... Thanks.

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Just common hospitality! [ and I'm really annoyed with my family members ] You're welcome! So you'll come, right?

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Yes. I will.

... But where is it?

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Great! Horton Apartments, room 303. It might be a little crowded, but it's certainly better than nothing. I'm sure Satchan will be delighted.

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Horton? Like I know where that is. Satchan?

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Ah- Satchan is my young cousin. She's a little shy, but I'm sure you'll become great friends! Oh, right, of course, I'll come and find you, then.

[ video funtion turns on to show him ]

And when you see me, just let me know, but quietly.

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

I'm sure.

[Freaking technology. It's all out to get her.]

Alright.

action?

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

[ and here is he trudging out of his apartment and down the crumbling stairs. He's in his almost forty layers because cold plus his family never equals a good thing. He continues to plod through, bending down to tie the lace even tighter on his boot before continuing. He squints into the foggyness, then pulls out his communicator. ]

Ah, Anna-san, could you kindly describe your surroundings? Like a warehourse or the school or something?

Action tally-hoe!

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Takes cover from the heavy snow in the run down gas station. Sitting atop on old petrol dispenser in a ripped, thin, plain winter kimono.]

I'm in an old gas station opposite some kind of parking lot. There's a store next door.

Action 8D

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes I believe I know where that is. It will be a few minutes. I apologize in advance for the small delay.

[ oh jeez oh dear this is why I don't go outside! Hands freezing, face freezing. ]

Action

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

It's fine.

[Peers out into the snow to try and spot him. Shouldn't be too hard to spot a walking clothing store, right?]

Action

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

[ aaand now he thinks he might see her, at least he hopes to. ]

Anna-chan?

[ but he walks around to get closer and points to himself. ]

Shigure, that would be me.

Action

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Gives a slight twitch of irritation at the use of 'chan' but the cute, petite little girl walks towards him with confidence.]

Hello, Sohma-san.

Action ksdjgnk;fdsh MY MISTAKE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 'SAN' DAMN.

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

[ She actually very much reminds him of most of the younger girls in his family, so he's used to it. ]

Good evening! So, well. I suppose we should get going if you're ready. Oh, and take this. [ He hands her one of forty million coats because it's negative a thousand out. ]

Action XDDD It's fine deep breaths now. In. Out. In. Out.

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm ready. [Looks at the him and the coat for a moment before pulling it on.] Thankyou.

Action lmao okay /wheeze

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Now, all right. [ So he starts leading the way to the relatively smooth path he came from and eventually after a tiring trek he sees Horton come into view. ]

Well. This is it!

Action /rubs back

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Follows, leaving at least four feet between them before walking up to his side to look at the building.] ... Looks terrible.

Action /sob

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes, that's what most people say, but it really is very... tolerable once you get used to it.

[ He turns to her, his tradmark forced smile on his face. ] You'll like my family.

Action there there

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Really? And exactly how big is your family?

Action 8D

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Oh, fairly large but I've been making plans to move out for a while so it doesn't get too over-crowded. It's all in the works.

Action

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a little, doesn't do well in crowded places.] If it's over crowded, why did you invite me?

Action

[nouvelliste.livejournal.com]

Because you told me you didn't have any place else to go [ and I sdgfdef my family ] And it's not that crowded. My- there's a room open even if you just want to stay a few days.

I'd of course understand if you'd rather find other living arrangements.

Action

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Looks at him for awhile before speaking.] I may aswell give it a try. Otherwise it'd be rude towards your hospitality. [Gives him a stare.] Even if it'd be your room I'll be staying is. [Because that's not suspicious or creepy at all Shigure.]
